Attention: If you are looking for something alcoholic with absolutely no taste what so ever, your search is over. Just as cheap and...well, cheap, as its non-light counterpart, this beer is terrible. Just get Brew City Lager instead, at least it has a taste.

AROMA: What aroma? Oh, is that the beer? I thought I needed to take the trash out....APPEARANCE: Pale yellow, urine color. FLAVOR: Like water, but skunkier. PALATE: After the first one it goes down like water. OVERALL IMPRESSION: What do you expect? It’s 8 dollars a case.

Light straw color with a fizzy spritzy diminishing white head. Light grain, hint of hops and soap. Watery in feel and flavor. Light plastic flavors late.

Delightfully cheap, only ten dollars a case, this light beer has a deep yellowish gold hue with minimal head when poured. The first 6 are hard to stomach until you aquire a taste for BigCity. I would only buy this beer if you are financially strained.

JMerritt (1590) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - JAN 18, 2005
Found "Brew City Light" at the liquor store for around $2.50 a sixer, and just had to try it. Bours a straight, pale gold with a small white head that is totally diminishing. Mildly sweet aroma (sweet corn?). Stale sweet flavor, turning into stale bread and grain, with no aftertaste. Medium/high carbonation, very thin body.

Another cheap beer from Melanie Brewing. It does have a better taste than the rest of their beers that they brew but its still pretty bad.

Almost as worse as brew city. The only good thing i can say is it is more watered down because id rather be drinking half swill half water to get it done with quicker than a full can of crap.

From Thedm’s "6-pack of Death" - can #2 - Hey - this isn’t quite as bad as Busch NA. Very very thin. very light yellow. very fizzy. Some sweet malt - the taste is barely there.

This beer was pretty terrible. Tasted watery just like any other light beer. THis however didn’t offend anyone by the taste because there was no taste. Basically carbonated water and alcohol. Won’t buy again.
